Loss is something everyone relates to. We have all lost someone close. The older you get, the more of those people you lose. I lost my brother Ricky when I was 14, then my daughter when I was 25. It's a lot like love in that it tastes different every time we experience it. It is amazing, the different facets of pain we can know. Pain is refracting light, its hues done up in different shades of hell. The pain never changes, like your others senses, it just dulls over time. Remember others know that pain, remember we are here to share in it. Remember that we are none of us alone.

It breaks, it remodels and fuses, harder than before. We learn to live with pain, it becomes something we draw strength from later on. Nietzche said what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. In this case I believe he is correct. He also said that he who hunts monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you. I take this to mean (in your case) do not wallow alone in your pain, or it will consume you. It is good that you express it here, or anywhere for that matter. If you are down, let your friends lift you. If you are broken, let those around you put the pieces back together. We've got the glue, if you've got the time :)

So deep from the heart and soul. I can't believe this happened. Seriously, Hod takes them too young. :( I know he's missed by many and he'd be happy to know how much you care about him. Life is too short... Don't understand it. You know I'm always here for you, and that'll never change!

dont ever feel bad or apologize for the way you feel though, we all deal with stuff that affects us .. read moredont ever feel bad or apologize for the way you feel though, we all deal with stuff that affects us or makes us sad/angry/mad. wearing a smile and trying to see thru it is probably really hard but atleast it is a little uplifting. i know when one of my really good friends died, and several of my family members passed, i was messed up for a while... i dont deal with death very well at all. but trying to keep a good perspective on things is healthy. :) i know its crazy!! i dont think its been 20 years, lol more like 10, but still a decade is a longgg a*s time! here's to more and more decades!!

AWW THANKS BABES!! ppl liftn me up is a great thing, and slowly helpn.and also cheeeers JIMMY! ;)
I was told that when you lose someone your heart is filled with pain and sadness and longing and all kinds of terrible, difficult emotions. That never goes away but you meet new people and they make you smile, your heart grows a little. You fall in love and your heart grows a little, etc. So even though the hurt never goes away your heart gets bigger and filled with some happiness, which makes dealing with the loss better as time goes by. This of course annoyed me and I really wanted to tell that lady to f**k off, it’s easy to say that when you're not the one suffering. Nothing anyone says is enough or even remotely comforting. What’s even more annoying is that she was right. I was 17 when my mother died and I couldn’t think about her without breaking down and feeling s**t. I’m 22 now and I can think about her and smile because for 17 years of my life I had the most amazing mother. I still miss her every day and I suspect that will never change but I don't feel like I can't go on anymore. I hope you get to that point and I truly am sorry about your brother. I hope it’s not over stepping to say this, but I think he would be just delighted that you’re getting a tattoo in his honour and glad that you use writing to ease the pain.

I am very sorry about your mom. and I envy you for the strengh you have found to carry on. VERY AWSOME. you did not over steph any lines and I sure hope I find strengh soon too. I think even though im not literally walking around in agony, i still am inside and i think our hearts get tired of us crying the same old song and heals us. it happen this month so its rather fresh. ughh i dont want to be sad anymore do we have control to change our emotions??like a remote? lol again how nice of you to share your story it means alot. xo! stay strong!

Its okay to sad, its better to feel it now and deal with it than pretend it's not there because it always comes back. For me the toughest part was that people forgot so quickly and unintentionally expected you to be over it. It's hard to be sad when people except you to be your usual happy self. I hope you have people around you that will be patient with you and support you. You are strong! The fact that you can write this proves that. Give it time your strength will grow and you will surprise yourself. Talk about your brother a lot, tell people why you loved him so much. He must have been amazing for him to leave you feeling so hurt. He lives through you now and through the love you have for him. If you ever want to just speak about it or him please feel free to message me. I will listen glad and I mean that 100%! It happened so recently :( I truly am sorry...I wish there were magic words I could say to somehow help. BIG HUG!!!!

Awww, I'm sure losing someone very dear to us is really painful and pretty tough for us. Just always remember, they maybe gone but they will always have a special place in our hearts, and don't forget that there are still a lot of people around us who care and love us too. Yes, in time it will heal but for how long? I think no one knows. :) Anyways, this is a pretty piece and very well expressed.

I've felt that way when I lost my grandmom who have became my second mother, I grew up with her. And I was really devastated when she was gone, considering the fact that I couldn't do anything for her 'cause I was just a kid. I wasn't there on her funeral and burial and that added on my burden. But as time passed by, I just have learnt to accept it. ^^ Oh yeah, that's life. Losing someone is part of life, and you will not be the only one who will experience that. Everyone will. :))

thank you for sharing!! I appreciate it sweety!:))
Ouch i can relate to this piece a lot. and ur also from Ohio. and that hurts a lot for me. My ex from Ohio has clearly moved on...but she wanted to keep in touch and I felt like fool for keeping in touch with her. I only felt heart break and longing when I talked to her.....i felt like shes doing a sick game in keeping in touch with me which clearly shes moved on with someone else. So I had to block her on facebook and her friends and family. I cant take it. if she contacts me ONE more time. ill tell her to leave me alone forever.
great piece so sad but true. but we must move on in order to find true love and to find someone who appreciates us :P
